*Pd IV* (12th-19th centuries). The pottery from this Pd is larger in bulk than that from all the three preceding Pds put together. The red ware and the black ware are equal in quantity. The shapes are globular pots, basins, carinated pots and lids of various types. The other distinct wares are the Celadon Ware [11.25] and kaolin and glazed wares. The other antiquities are beads of terracotta, shell, stone (cernelian and chalcedony) and glass. There are also antimony rods [18.1] and bangles of glass, tiny ivory lids, parts of silver ornaments, copper ring, fragments of copper objects and terracotta toys like cart, animals, etc., and skin rubber [18.4]. Coins are found only in this Pd and mostly belong to Gujarat Sulṭāns.
